Testing, posting on this old thread in Google Groups to see what happens....
My Brother, a good mutual friend & I have thought up some really stupid
characters over the years, I thought I'd share a couple of them today, no
special reason...
FEMUR MAN!
Femur Man is the secret, crime-fighting identity of an otherwise ordinary
citizen (btw, Femur Man was in NO WAY inspired by Bicycle Repair Man.
*cough*), whose name must be withheld to protect his secret identity. But,
when crime occurs, he runs to a telephone booth & becomes FEMUR MAN!!! When
he assumes the Femur Man form, his knees disappear, & he can barely walk,
then the crooks feel so sorry for him that they turn themselves in. Tune in
again next week...
CAPTAIN TENDONITIS!
...is a kids cartoon show host, I'm sure that most of you grew up with
similar shows when you were kids (although Mike Pierry & some of the younger
members of the group maybe didn't have these local cartoon shows...), in
Portland it was a guy named Ramblin' Rod (to this day I have a hard time
thinking of him by his regular name, Rod Anders), the most famous would be
Krusty the Klown on the Simpsons, the most famous *real* one would be Bozo
in Chicago, but I'll bet just about every city had one of these guys.
Captain Tendonitis would be seated at the beginning of the show, with his
"CT" emblazoned on his uniform similar to Superman's "S". The show would
begin...
<intro>
(camera fades in to Captain Tendonitis, sitting in a big, cushy chair)
CT: "Hi, Boys & Girls!"
KIDS IN AUDIENCE: "HI, CAPTAIN TENDONITIS!"
(while kids respond, CT starts to wave)
CT: "OWWW!!!" <grabs shoulder, lowers arm> " Boy!! That really really hurts,
Boys & Girls!! Let's watch a cartoon!!!"
KIDS: "YAY!!!"
<fade to cartoon>
